If you just purchased and moved into a new home, here’s one thing you may have noticed. While the central AC System is only a few years old and it passed muster during the inspection, it isn’t cooling your house evenly from room to room. You don’t get it – you just know it wasn’t what you expected.
Well, if you’re just now purchasing a new AC system, or even thinking about it, here’s what you have a right to expect – an AC system that performs as advertised. Efficiently, reliably, quietly, even cool air distribution, and all the rest. And that’s exactly what you get when you choose Eagle Service Company for the job.
How to Size an AC System
Many of the benefits you’ll enjoy from a new AC system stem from it being properly sized. Meaning, the right tonnage and BTU rating for your home. And that’s achieved by taking all the following into account:
- Total interior square footage
- Approximate amount of direct sun exposure
- Head count of typical number of people at home
- Types and numbers of appliances or equipment that generate heat
- Weather conditions/climate
- Quality and total number of exterior windows
- Quality and R-value of insulation
- Type of construction, such as brick exterior or vinyl siding
- Interior ductwork/airflow assessment
- Features that contribute to heating & cooling loss or gain, such as fireplaces or skylights
From that comes a load calculation -meaning, the amount of cool air you need and, therefore, the size of the system. It’s not a difficult process if done properly. And that’s not all there is to it. But that’s where the process begins to give you maximum indoor comfort, all summer long, for years to come.
